Conferee Networking Sessions
Conferences provide great opportunities to develop your knowledge, gather new perspectives, learn new methods, and to meet valuable colleagues. Meeting those new colleagues can result from chance meetings at poster sessions, technical program sessions, at exhibitor booths, at short course programs, or at mixers and many other activities during Conference week.
Several years ago, the Pittcon Organizing Committee added another way for conferees (and exhibitors) to meet in a semi-formal gathering to mutually discuss pre-identified topics of common interest, Conferee Networking Sessions.
Using input from recent Pittcon attendees, about 30 different Conferee Networking Sessions will be held during Conference week. In meeting rooms configured in round-table style, with no audiovisual support, participants are encouraged to exchange business cards with each other and to each talk about their specific work challenges.
A moderator/facilitator is present to keep the discussion centered and to highlight topical issues. While most participants join the session from the start, participants should feel free to join at any time. Most sessions have fewer than 15 participants. The discussion usually has one of two beneficial results:
- Realization that there is available help to solve a problem
- Mutual recognition that no one has yet solved a problem.
Your own organization may not provide access to other scientists with the ability to provide either of those results. Participating in the Conferee Networking Sessions provides another valuable benefit for your Pittcon experience.
International Visitors
Whether this is your first time to Pittcon or you have attended past Conferences, we invite you to visit our International Visitor Center when you arrive at the convention center.
